| Evidence: | 'We are in the far west.
The journey North was a long one – from 9 am till 6.30
I had a Browning & Thackeray, a Criminal Digest & some need to work to occupy me & so time passed less heavily than I anticipated. Dick napped & read Lytton, growling when I addressed him any remarks – he does not show to advantage when travelling. I told him so when I addressed him like a father on the subject later on.'
